• Implementation and monitoring of the TPM = total productive maintenance methodology
• Coordination of autonomous maintenance activities, by involving the production team in performing basic maintenance tasks.
• Establishing a planned maintenance schedule that reduces the number of failures and increases the mean time between failures (MTBF).
• Collaborating with production teams to identify and implement continuous equipment improvements.
• Planning and implementing preventive maintenance to improve the average time between failures (KPI: MTBF - Mean Time Between Failures).
• Creating and implementing a preventive maintenance program, with the aim of reducing the risk of damage and extending the average time between failures.
• Coordinating regular inspections and preventive maintenance to minimize unexpected breakdowns.
• Collaborating with other departments to identify and implement continuous equipment improvement solutions.
• Coordination of rapid interventions in case of failure, with a focus on reducing the average time to repair (KPI: MTTR - Mean Time to Repair).
• Organising and managing repair interventions to minimise downtime.
• Ensuring the availability of spare parts and repair equipment, thereby reducing repair time.
• Monitoring and analyzing repair times to identify ways to optimize and reduce MTTR.
• Developing a culture of continuous improvement by encouraging the team to contribute innovative ideas (KPI: Number of Improvement Ideas):
• Stimulating team initiative to generate and implement ideas to improve maintenance processes.
• Evaluating and documenting the proposed ideas, following their impact on the performance of the equipment and the efficiency of the team.
• Collaborating with other departments to develop innovative solutions that can optimize maintenance and production.
• Ensure compliance with 5S standards for maintenance (KPI: 5S Maintenance Score).

• Conducting regular audits and implementing corrective actions to maintain and improve the 5S score.
• Training the team to comply with and apply 5S standards in all maintenance activities.
• Preparation of periodic reports and analysis of team performance:
• Preparing performance reports based on KPIs, including progress in TPM implementation, identifying successes and areas for improvement.
• Proposing corrective measures and preventive actions based on performance reviews.
• Monitoring the level of spare parts stocks, ensuring the constant availability of critical parts for production equipment.
• Working with the purchasing department to order spare parts in a timely manner, avoiding downtime caused by their lack of spare parts.
• Analyze wear and frequency of spare parts replacement to optimize inventory levels and minimize maintenance costs.
• Updating inventory and maintaining an accurate record of spare parts usage as per audit and reporting requirements.
• Collaborating with managers to develop strategies to optimize maintenance processes and achieve set performance targets.
